On the Upper Dungeness hiking trip we were pleased to see the flowers in the high country were still in bloom. I am not positive about the “official” name of the Mountain Asters … but that is what we have always called them.

The canadian dogwood is also known as bunchberry. The berries are bright reddish-orange and not edible. The forest floor is brightened up by their presence, since not a whole lot of showy flowers grow in the deep shade.

Another group of wildflowers from the Hurricane Ridge area of Olympic National Park. One of the advantages of the area is the road running up to over 5000′ … and the only high country access via motor vehicle in the park. That translates into a pretty crowded area.
This assortment of blue wildflowers were all within a few yards of each other. These were along the Hurricane Hill Road in Olympic National Park.
A visit to the high country of the Olympic National Park in the summer takes you to wildflower heaven. There are lots of very showy wildflowers, but there are also some that may not be showy, but are favorites, non the less. The non showy orchid here is one of my favorites in that category.
had a problem with the post schedule. Sorry this is a little late….
